HIWIN presents new electric cylinder – developed and produced in Offenburg

An innovative drive element specifically designed for industrial automation applications. The electric cylinder was entirely developed and manufactured in Offenburg, Germany – a clear commitment to "Made in Germany" quality. This ensures not only the highest manufacturing standards but also short delivery times and reliable technical support. The latest drive is available in four sizes (40, 50, 60, and 80 mm), with the stroke freely selectable in millimeter increments. Inside, a high-performance ball screw drive handles higher forces and enables faster travel speeds than conventional solutions. Optionally, and this is what currently makes the electric cylinder unique on the market, the slide guides can be flexibly mounted after installation (up to two per acting force). Combined with lifetime lubrication, the drive guarantees long-lasting, low-maintenance operation – ideal for demanding pick-and-place, positioning, or pressing applications. “With our electric cylinder, we are setting a clear example for greater efficiency, precision, and flexibility in industrial automation,” says the development team at HIWIN GmbH. The new electric cylinder is aimed at machine builders, integrators, and users who value high quality and rapid implementation.
